The Academy for Lifelong Learning has merged with the McGrath Computer Learning Center to form the Center for Lifelong Learning. For information from the Academy's or McGrath's former websites, go to the archived information website.
Center for Lifelong Learning
Welcome to the Center for Lifelong Learning! The Center brings together two long-standing organizations: the Academy for Lifelong Learning and the McGrath Computer Learning Center. By integrating the resources of its predecessors, the Center will be able to provide students with more resources for improved learning opportunities.
The Center is affiliated with the Office of External Programs, Continuing Education, and Conferences at the University of South Carolina Aiken (as were the predecessor organizations). The University provides support, administrative services, and physical facilities to the Center.
With the merger, the Center will be able to make more efficient use of the University’s resources and reduce operating expenses. It will be able to draw from a larger pool of potential students consisting of Academy members and McGrath students. The combined volunteer base will be able to better serve all of our students (but we need new volunteers to bring fresh ideas into the Center!).
The Center offers both general interest courses, similar to those the Academy previously offered, and technology courses, similar to those McGrath offered. We are excited about the future as the Center builds toward future growth in both number of students and number of classes, better economy in our outreach, and greater efficiency in our operations. Come join us to learn!
